Question

If the mean weight of 4 backfield members on the football team is 222 lb and the mean weight of the 7 other players is 198 lb, what is the mean weight of the 11 person team?

Answer 1

To find the Mean or Average you have to add up all numbers it is asking for which in case are 222 and 198.

so you will add 222+198

That will equal 420

Then you will divide with the amount added together which is 2

420/2=210

so the mean of the 11 people is 210 or 210lbs
